The California Legislature approved a budget that will be amended later this month after lawmakers reach an agreement with Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The plan would devote billions to an inflation relief package, drought and wildfire conditions, healthcare plan subsidies and higher school funding.Newsom and lawmakers share many budget priorities, such as expanding the state’s Medi-Cal healthcare programs to all income-eligible Californians — regardless of immigration status — no later than Jan. 1, 2024. The Democrats also broadly agree on spending $1.
The legislative budget provides no resolution to the stalemate over how much money the state should return to residents and who should receive the payments as Californians feel the sting of high gas prices and rising inflation. Erika Li, chief deputy director of the Department of Finance, testified in an Assembly budget committee hearing Monday morning about the Newsom administration’s concerns with the structure of the Legislature’s relief plan.
Republican lawmakers criticized Democrats for not delivering relief quickly despite bipartisan support for swift action. Three months have passed since Newsom and lawmakers began proposing rebates.
